How to Vote a Touch Screen Ballot

When you arrive at your polling place or advance voting location, have your government-issued Photo ID ready. Check in at the registration table, hand your Photo ID to the Election Official, and give your name and address to the Election Official.

After you have been checked in, you will be escorted to a voting machine by a machine judge

The machine judge will hand you an unmarked ballot.

To begin voting, insert the blank ballot card into the activation slot.

The machine judge will scan the ballot ticket receipt from the pollbook and confirm your precinct number to the precinct number that appears on the first screen of the voting machine.

The machine judge will review how to use the machine with you and answer any questions you may have.

If there are no additional questions, the machine judge will press activate and leave to deposit your ballot ticket in a ballot ticket bag.

To vote, touch the circle on the screen to select your candidate.

To change your vote, touch a different candidate or selection.

Touch "Next" to advance to the next page.

Touch "Previous" to go back.

If you need additional assistance, raise your hand and one or more machine judge(s) will assist you.
